How did you copy the partition? I didn't. I just reformatted a drive back to ext3, then copied all the files to that drive. Then I checked all the files to ensure everything was good, and it was. Then I reformatted the partition in question over to ext3 and copied the files back to it and checked a...

I just copied all my files from sda2 to two separate drives, then checked them all. They were 100%. Then I zapped sda2 and turned it back to ext3 and copied the files back to sda2. Everything in perfect working order again. In fact, ext3 is faster and more efficient than fat32. Everything runs bette...

I suggest ext3, but ext4 should now work good if you are using Bionicpup64 8.0

If you have the

Code: Select all

pfix=fsck

command, on the kernel line of the boot menu entry that is booting Bionicpup.
It will do a file system check and fix at every bootup.

Why ext3?

Yes use ext formats. I suggest ext3, but ext4 should now work good if you are using Bionicpup64 8.0 If you have the pfix=fsck command, on the kernel line of the boot menu entry that is booting Bionicpup. It will do a file system check and fix at every bootup. I am doing just that. I've used Puppy a...

For what it's worth, I believe that copying a partition, then reformatting the partition and copying the original data back to it has the effect of defragmenting the partition. As long as you don't use dd to copy the partition, which I suppose would preserve the original fragmentation. What is the ...

I am switching all partitions back to ext. I used to format all of them like that all the time. I leaned the difference the hard way.

Copying the partition sounds interesting. Never thought of that before. Thanks.

After backing up all the files from sda2 (copied over to another hard drive with only two errors), and since I can now use then normally... I suppose I could just wipe out and repartition sda2 and copy the files back to sda2. Definitely an option. Dunno if it's the best option, but it's better than ...

I have three partitions on this drive: sda1 (fat32) is where bionicpup64--8.0 resides sda2 (fat32) is where my personal files reside sda3 is a linux-swap The problem with the files is on sda2, my personal files. The partition is now corrupted and is read-only! And wouldn't ya know it? I set the driv...

I got 8.0. Thanks!

Don't know what happened to sda2 directory. I was working on files, then the computer shut down after battery ran out. When I plugged it in and rebooted to go back to work in sda2, all the folders and files are now read only. Some files I can open and save, others I cannot. When try to save a new fi...

December last I downloaded and burned onto CD what I thought was the latest Puppy: BionicPup 64 7.9.7.ISO. I think it was some Beta version or something else, because it never saves updates or programs. This is good for some reasons, obviously, but for other reasons not so much. So... what is the la...

I jad some success with Janky Bluetooth after trying again. I got everything connected. But when I tried to send files from the phone to the computer, the computer automatically disconnected every time. I'm getting closer.

Semme wrote:For audio, file transfer or both?

Both.

Well, I got my Bluetooth card and it's mounted and working. The Janky Bluetooth program that comes with Bionic Puppy does not work however. There are a lot of other Bluetooth programs in the repository... Which would you recommend?

I will install CamPhoneTab and give it a shot. Any update on this? I could not find CamPhoneTab in Puppy Package Manager. I don't know where to find it. However, in other fine revelations, the MTP Device v0.16 started working again. I have no idea why it did not work in the first place, nor why it ...

Wifi? Maybe one of these options work for ya. Dead easy and light on permissions >> WiFi File Transfer . Very cool. But wifi not an option for me, as it turns out. Networking is required. I do a lot of work in the field, where there is no Internet connection. I thought it was like Bluetooth, where ...

Provided it's not your cable, and physical connections are easily damaged, I'd say remove the "built-in" pkg, reload X, then reinstall mtp_phone_connect . As I don't see a pkg for BP64, you'd need either compatibility libs loaded for a 32b build or grab the pkg from Xenial64. I doubt ther...

Ae you running "pristine" or have you created a savefile? If so is it possible to ditch the savefile temporarily and start again? See what happens then? Not running Pristine. It was my understanding that when Bionic Puppy is installed on the hard drive, which mine is, it does not use save...

And you/it hasn't updated your phone software and locked it out? Something like unauthorised access in the android system. I've scoured settings and security, etc. and found nothing like that. I know I haven't changed anything on purpose, but haven't changed anything by accident either, looks like.

Once Bionic Pup was installed a few weeks ago the MTP Device automatically kicked in and read my Android Note 3 dumbphone and I could access anything. Suddenly, about a week ago, it stopped reading the phone altogether. When I open the program and it tells me to plug in the phone, I plug it in and n...
